Shu Middle Stream Chapter 5
Chronicle of the Year of Glory (5) Daily
On the morning of July 17, the sixteenth year of Zhengyu, Agui came through the fog to call his young master for breakfast, but no one answered. He walked under the luan tree in the center of the courtyard, and was startled so hard that his heart trembled.
Ah Gui saw that the young master's clothes were damp and stained with mud, his hair was scattered, and the hairpin that bound his hair fell to the side, while the young master's face was pale like a demon, and he was holding a sword in his arms.
Agui cried: "Young master, don't scare me..."
Ah Gui knelt on the ground and approached Chen Cong in fear.
Seeing that Chen Cong was motionless, Agui trembled and touched the young master's cheek, which was cold and cold.
Ah Gui stayed with tears in his eyes, he hurriedly carried the young master on his back, staggered out of the courtyard, and cried loudly: "Come on, the young master has an accident, please ask the doctor ......."
An hour later, the doctor who had treated Gao Qin before stood in front of the bed with a frown, and An Ji stood next to him with red eyes, holding two fox cubs in her arms, and her mother Zhang waited anxiously for Lang Zhong's diagnosis.
Seeing that the doctor was still hesitating, Zhang gritted his silver teeth: "Doctor, what happened to Cong'er, he was fine yesterday, but he just went up and down Qingque Mountain... Didn't you see him yesterday too? Didn't you see anything wrong with Cong'er when you took the pulse of the little Taoist? ”
The doctor's face was even more hesitant, and he took a deep breath and saluted to Zhang's: "Madam, Gongzi Cong is fine for the time being, but he is exhausted and faints...... The pulse is the same as yesterday's trail length. ”
"Exhausted? How can it be? "Zhang's is in a hurry," the concubine heard from the people in the family that Cong'er also invited the storyteller to listen to a new play last night. ”
Zhang turned to Ah Gui and said, "Invite the storyteller from yesterday." ”
The doctor sighed, the folds on his face crumpled together. He said: "The old man began to regulate the body of the Chen family when the old Ping Shu Gong was alive, and the old man will not deceive the wife." ”
Seeing that Zhang didn't speak and just stood, the doctor knew that this lady might not believe him.
The doctor sighed again, left the same prescription as yesterday, and left.
Anji and the two fox cubs, one white and one red, stood quietly until the doctor left, leaving only her and her mother in the house, and Anji burst into tears.
An Ji looked up and asked his mother, "Brother Cong...... And the high road chief, will they just... Can't wake up... Huh? ”
The fox cub in her arms squeaked again and again.
Zhang reluctantly smiled at his daughter, "Anji, don't cry, you go and write a letter to your uncle, asking them to come back from Longbei as soon as possible... Grandma asked someone to invite a few more Langzhong. ”
Several other well-known doctors in the city were invited one after another, and the results were basically similar, all saying that Gongzi Cong was fine, and was sent away by Zhang after leaving a similar prescription.
Zhang's face was still sad, she really couldn't figure out why the person who was so good yesterday suddenly fainted from being too exhausted.
Fortunately, just like the doctor's diagnosis, after the Zhang family sent someone to give Chen Cong and Gao Qin a meal and drink medicine, the faces of the two of them improved visibly with the naked eye, and they were no longer as pale as dead people.
On July 17, that night, Chen Cong woke up, and half an hour later, Gao Qin also woke up.
Chen's Wing.
Gao Qin opened his eyes and stared blankly at the beam. Many images flashed through my mind, good and bad, before, now, peaceful, and my own...... It was like a sack stuffed with things, but its stomach was empty.
Weakness all over, Gao Qin's wide sleeves swept away the water cup on the table when he got up, and with a bang, Gao Qin sat weakly on the ground, and the water cup fragments were scattered.
"Anji ......"
Gao Qin muttered in amazement, when all the memories were strung together, he wanted to cry for no reason.
The two guards at the door pushed the door in after hearing the sound, and saw that Gao Qin had also woken up, looking at each other with joy in their eyes.
One of the guards bowed his hand: "Gao Dao is long and wait a minute, and let the dining room bring porridge and light side dishes." ”
Another guard smiled: "Young Master Cong also woke up half an hour ago, and as soon as I woke up, I thought about you, so I will go to Young Master Cong to report the good news now." ”
The two guards left one after another, forgetting to pick up Gao Qin on the ground.
Gao Qin leaned at the foot of the bed, his stomach was very empty, and there was a kettle in the house, but the air was still a little cold, unlike Shengjing in the north.
"Young Master Cong is also awake...... Did Chen Cong pass out because of anything? ”
"In the end, I still brought a hibiscus crown to Zhang's Buyao...... I still need to write a letter to ask Master if there is a way to erase the memory of Anji in his mind......"
He was still self-aware, he thought.
The county lord of Tianjiao's mansion is too noble, and he should erase this memory that has nothing to do with him.
Gao Qin closed his eyes, gasping for breath like a person about to drown, and there was boundless silence around him.
"Master, come to Jinguan, I miss you so much..."
Half an hour ago, in Chen Cong's courtyard.
Chen Cong's head was dizzy, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Agui's big face.
The big face cried and cried over and over again, and Chen Cong listened to it for a long time before he figured it out.
The first sentence is young master, why did you faint,
The second sentence is how can I live without you, young master.
Chen Cong was upset by Agui's noise, and he couldn't spare the strength to teach this kid a crying and mourning, so he could only whisper: "Agui, I'm cold, cover me with a quilt..."
Ah Gui howled so much that he forgot himself, and in a trance he heard the young master shouting who was cold.
Chen Cong was angry about this. Agui's big-faced cub listened to himself, didn't listen to himself much, happily wiped his tears and snot, and walked out while wiping it, muttering in his mouth: "I have to tell Mrs. and Miss about the young master's wake-up, they are very worried about the young master... Whining... The young master also said that it was cold..."
Because he forgot who the young master said was cold, Agui paused, and his snot fell down. Agui meditated...... He remembered that in addition to Young Master Cong, only Daoist Gao was also sick.
So Agui sniffed hard, cried and muttered: "The young master is really good...... As soon as I woke up, I was worried about whether Gao Dao Chang was cold or not..."
Chen Cong's head was full of black lines, and this big-faced cub didn't care what his young master said.
Chen Cong's whole body was uncomfortable, he had a fever and chills, he couldn't exert his strength, he was so angry that he didn't call Ah Gui anymore, he lay down in pain, and barely comforted himself: "At least Ah Gui, this kid didn't wipe his tears and snot on my bed."
Chills, chills, swollen head.
Chen Cong felt that he might have a cold, and he was very uncomfortable. I didn't have time to think about my blood-stained hairpin and Tianjiao's road when I closed my eyes, I fell asleep in an instant.
Chen Cong was half-asleep and half-awake and felt that he was being helped up and leaning against the head of the bed, someone was feeding him medicine, and the warm current was coiled in his abdomen, which was really comfortable.
I opened my eyes again the next morning. Awakened by An Jihuang. As soon as he opened his eyes, a crimson fox hoof pressed on the bridge of Chen Cong's nose.
The tip of the nose is rounded out.
Chen Cong glared angrily at the red fox cub that ran out of An Ji's arms, it chirped, and jumped back into An Ji's arms by stepping on Chen Cong's belly. The other white fox cub stood on An Ji's shoulder, smirking and laughing at Chen Cong's weakness.
Okay, it's only been two days since I got acquainted with the new master and bullied me, right?
Chen Cong snorted, pushed away the embroidered quilt on his body, and got up to find the sword.
An Ji hurriedly pushed Chen Cong to the bed again, put the red fox cub on the other shoulder, and then crossed his hands on his waist: "If you want anything, just tell An Ji, and An Ji will help you do it." Now you have a cold, and the doctor told you to rest in bed. ”
The two small clumps on Anji's shoulders also nodded, like a ball of fire and fluffy snow.
When Chen Cong saw these two fox cubs, he wanted to come to Agui yesterday, and he was also clean and didn't do anything, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
Chen Cong grinded his teeth: "Anji, bring my sword." ”
Chen Cong didn't notice that his sister's expression became strange, he pondered for a moment, and then brought a look of sudden understanding. Chen Cong just desperately wanted to know what had changed after he wore the Suiyi hairpin and danced the sword.
But Anji was as serious as a little master: "No. ”
Chen Cong was stunned for a moment, and didn't realize that he was rejected.
After all, it's just a small matter, and it's not something to be considered twice.
Chen Cong thought that An Ji had misunderstood him: "I didn't want to beat two little fox cubs with a sword, An Ji..."
Anji ignored his brother and instead walked to the gate of the courtyard and called the guards.
"Remove all the swords in this room, no one can let him touch the swords and similar things until Brother Cong's wind and cold are cured, this is what my mother ordered."
Chen Cong: ......
"Why is Na Anji...... How could my aunt arrange this? Are you still worried about those two little fox cubs, don't worry, I won't be so careful to retaliate......"
Chen Cong stared pitifully at An Ji who returned to the room, his wide peach blossom eyes filled with confusion.
"Brother Cong, you confess to me, is it that Sister Juexi is coming, so you danced the sword all night, sharpened the gun, and fainted and contracted the cold?"
"Yang Juexi is coming? ...... No, you misunderstood me. I didn't faint because of the sword dance... It has nothing to do with swords. ”
"Something to do with Sister Juexi?"
"It's okay with her..."
"Why did the doctor say you passed out because you were overworked?"
Chen Cong was speechless for a while, he didn't want to tell the secret of the six generations of three swords he had discovered, he wanted to hide this matter tightly, and it was not revealed until he was in front of Yang Juexi.
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with Yang Juexi and the sword."
But Anji remained unmoved.
Chen Cong sighed with a bitter face, and An Ji became serious...... I may not really be able to touch the sword before the wind chill heals.
But his heart is as urgent as a tanuki's paws, and he is desperate to endure.
Chen Cong forced himself to change his thoughts: "Has Gao Dao Chang woken up?" ”
An Ji sat next to Chen Cong, teased the fox cub and said, "I woke up half an hour later than you, and I'm still in the guest room." ”
Chen Cong got up and glanced at An Ji: "Then it's okay for me to go to visit Gao Dao Chang, right?" ”
Chen Cong's first wanted to urgently find out the changes in his Tianjiao vision, and the second was that he was particularly curious about the first disciple of this dragon Taoist priest.
Anji jumped out of bed: "I'll go too." ”
Chen Cong wrapped a mink fur to keep warm, held an umbrella to cover the light rain, and walked to the guest room with An Ji.
On the way, the two were surprised to see a Taoist priest wearing a blue shirt walking on the way out of the mansion and carrying a package.
An Ji tiptoed and asked, "Is that a high road chief?"
Chen Cong stared hesitantly: "It seems to be ......"
Chen Cong hurriedly took An Ji's hand to chase after the Taoist priest, and when he got closer, he saw that it was indeed Gao Qin.
Chen Cong shouted to Gao Qin.
Running in front of him, Chen Cong calmed down, was a little angry, and said to Gao Qin: "Is it that the guards in the palace are not polite enough to the Taoist chief?" The Taoist chief calmed his anger, and Cong went to punish the subordinates who were not long-sighted. ”
Gao Qin turned around and saw Chen Cong and An Ji, he lowered his head a little awkwardly, avoiding An Ji's eyes, and replied: "Young Master Cong doesn't have to be angry, the attendants of your mansion treat Xiaodao very well...... It's just that before Xiaodao and Master parted, Master specially instructed Xiaodao to repair Xuanqing Temple..."
In fact, Master Li Kan didn't tell him so, but Gao Qin didn't want to stay in the Chen Mansion, worried about meeting An Ji.
Chen Cong's tense face eased at this time, he handed the umbrella to An Ji, and he stood in the drizzle with Gao Qin. Chen Cong smiled and said enthusiastically: "It's just to build a Taoist temple, and the Taoist is in such a hurry, which inevitably makes people look down on Cong's etiquette." ”
Chen Cong saluted each other like the masters of the academy in a decent manner: "Cong wants to invite the Taoist master to tea, is it feasible?" ”
Chen Cong smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly eased. The red fox cub on An Ji's body squinted at the faces of the three of them, jumped down from An Ji, hugged Gao Qin's calf, sniffed it, felt very comfortable, and shouted at the snow-white fox cub twice. So the white fox cub also jumped down and hugged Gao Qin's other calf.
The two little ones couldn't help but make the three of them smile slightly. Gao Qin looked down at the two hairy balls holding his legs, and when he caught a glimpse of An Ji's shallow smile, he was slightly dizzy.
Anji is not like a Shuchuan woman, she has a clear love and hate, straightforward and decisive...... On the contrary, like her mother Zhang, a woman from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, she is soft and delicate. Like the warm blue and white porcelain, it is warm on the outside, but it has a well-defined material and an unchangeable background color.
Gao Qin thought about it, but a selfish thought sprouted in his heart because of Chen Cong's words...
If he goes back with Chen Cong and the two fox cubs entangle him, then An Ji will definitely stay with him if he wants to chase the fox cubs......
Co-roomed.
He couldn't refuse that scene, and looked down at the fox cub, his eyes darkened.
Chen Cong couldn't help but pull Gao Qin back to his courtyard to eat tea, as Gao Qin thought, An Ji followed behind with an umbrella.
The kettle and incense in the house were still burning, Chen Cong closed the door and window and pulled Gao Qin to sit, and the two chatted.
Anji sat on the other side, trying to retrieve the fox cubs, and they ran around Gao Qin as if she were joking, Anji was too embarrassed to play with them, so he had to flip through the book angrily while staring at the fox cubs with threatening eyes.
Gao Qin made a helpless look and smiled apologetically at An Ji, who reacted that Gao Qin was a guest, and he was indeed embarrassed.
Gao Qin was overjoyed in his heart.
The two fox cubs were still pestering him, which was not surprising to Gao Qin, who discovered that he was actually quite fond of small animals when he was a child.
He didn't deliberately look at Anji during the small talk, he just sat alone, and could feel her breath, and the feeling of emptiness and restlessness since waking up last night was empty, like a stove.
The chat with Gongzi Cong was also unexpectedly speculative, they had been to the same place a lot, Gao Qin talked to him about folklore and strange things, Chen Cong talked to himself about strange things in the government and the opposition, An Ji was not interested, and the two chatted very happily.
Maybe this is the best, Gao Qin exhaled, could feel her presence, the speculation of chatting... Don't ask for more.
Because Chen Cong was here, it was inconvenient to directly ask Gao Qin about the divination of the day before yesterday and the Suiyi hairpin, glazed butterfly and broken sword mentioned by the storyteller Yan San.
He couldn't wait to ask Gao Qin if he was going the right way, but he couldn't hold back and not ask.
Chen Cong knew that the reason why An Ji was still here was because the two fox cubs were here. He poked the fox cubs in his heart, complained about the two cubs, and wanted Anji and them to leave quickly, so that he could ask questions.
But Chen Cong never expected that his idea would not be realized until after dinner.
At lunchtime, my uncle Zhang specially sent someone to invite Gao Qin to join me. After they finished lunch, Zhang pulled Gao Qin and asked about Li Kan, and then ordered himself to rest, not allowing himself to dance the sword before he recovered.
Chen Cong depressedly went back to the house and took a nap. After waking up, he went straight to the guest room to find Gao Qin. Passing by Anji's courtyard, he regretted opening the courtyard door to take a look, but the fox cubs ran out along the crack in the door and ran straight to Gao Qin's guest room.
Chen Cong was dumbfounded when he looked at the four fox cubs whose hooves did not touch the ground, and he also hurried over and saw Gao Qin sitting at the table and concentrating on copying the Taoist scriptures.
Chen Cong was definitely inconvenient to bother, so he could only wait, while looking at the fox cub lying on Gao Qin's calf angrily.
When Gao Qin had just finished writing and Chen Cong was excitedly preparing to speak, An Ji's little head poked out at the door, sleepy-eyed, black sideburns, and a look like a fox cub's mother.
She came looking for the fox cubs.
Chen Cong regretted that he had saved the two fox cubs.
Chen Cong had to talk patiently for another afternoon.
Chen Cong reluctantly comforted himself, and when he had designated time in the evening, he was enough to pull Gao Qin to ask in detail.
However, Chen Cong didn't expect that after dinner, his uncle Zhang let himself take medicine and watch Langzhong. Seven or eight doctors took turns to listen to their diagnoses. When everything was done, he quickly fell asleep.
I'm not so easily haggard, Chen Cong complained.
In the end, Chen Cong was locked in his bed, covered with an embroidered quilt, and couldn't do anything.
Chen Cong thought about the whole day today, and wanted to cry without tears.
He wailed, and muttered in his mouth, Gao Dao Chang, Gao Dao Chief, you say it quickly... Rolling back and forth on the bed.
The night is getting deeper.
Agui, who was guarding outside the door, heard it and shuddered. He remembered that as soon as Young Master Cong woke up yesterday, he cared about Daoist Gao, and he grew up in a trance.
Gao Dao is long and thin, tall and tall, with gentle eyebrows, a good voice, and outstanding temperament...... He is also very speculative with the young master......
If it's a high road chief......
It's a pity that the Juexi County Lord finally paid by mistake...
No wonder the young master must have quarreled with the Juexi County Lord within three sentences, but instead chatted with the Taoist chief for a day, never forgetting, and now he is still lonely and sleepless.
Agui sighed deeply.
Young Master Cong treats himself very well, but there is nothing Agui can do in this matter.
Ah Gui looked up at the sky, it was dark and raining, and at this moment he felt that he was carrying an ulterior secret.
Ah Gui imagined the mellow and bright moon hidden behind the clouds, and muttered, "Young Master, you must be happy..."
"Agui's Diary": "The young master got a cold today, but he still went to visit Gao Daochang. They chatted for a day, and they couldn't part with each other. The young master couldn't sleep with the same way leader, and it was difficult to sleep after tossing and turning, and I was guarding outside the door, in a dilemma. ”
